Juzo’s medical aids are knitted reliably. That means that our patients can trust in the consistently high and meticulously checked quality of our products.
Juzo’s compression products are manufactured almost exclusively in Germany and in the US. Only top-quality materials are used that are subject to the strictest quality standards.
As a founding member of the Quality Mark Association for Medical Compression Hosiery (Gütezeichengemeinschaft Medizinische Kompressionsstrümpfe e.V.), Juzo played an important role in defining the special quality requirements for products used in compression therapy. These requirements are part of the RAL Standard today and a basic requirement for inclusion in the catalogue of medical devices. In 1998, Juzo was one of the first enterprises in the sector to introduce a general quality management system. Yearly audits carried out by the certification body confirm the consistently high quality standard at Juzo.
Oeko-Tex is a globally standardised, independent auditing and certification system for textile raw, semi-finished and finished products of all process levels. The more intensive the skin contact of a product, the stricter the requirements regarding its safety for humans and the environment it must fulfil. Juzo circular and flat-knit compression fabrics are Oeko-Tex standard 100 certified. Juzo can therefore ensure that all components of a product are safe for humans and the environment and do not pose a health hazard. The requirements of the Oeko-Tex standard 100 are significantly stricter than existing national legislation.
Julius Zorn GmbH introduced a general quality management system as early as 1998, and was one of the first companies in this sector to receive DIN EN ISO 46001 certifications. Juzo is currently certified according to DIN EN ISO 13485, the succeeding standard to DIN EN ISO 46001.
Medical compression stockings and sleeves from Juzo comply with the relevant RAL standard. The test specifications contain a comprehensive set of binding guidelines on the manufacture of medical compression stockings and sleeves as well as of medical compression stockings for treating leg ulcers, for example:
Julius Zorn GmbH is a manufacturer of medical aids such as compression garments, supports and orthoses. All Juzo products are medical devices of Risk Class 1 and therefore part of the lowest risk class according to the MDR. As a medical device manufacturer of low-risk products, Julius Zorn GmbH may, in accordance with Appendix VIII of EU Directive 2017/745 for Medical Devices, declare the conformity of products itself using the applicable requirements of the directive and issue the Declaration of Conformity.
